Ok I first like to say I am a newbie to both this site and to the world of saltwater tanks.
This is our first tank so be patient Easter weekend tank went up... we got the tank up and running with the help of an experienced tanker. Got the water right as far as the salt level.. added 4 molly’s to get it started. 3 of the 4 molly’s died. The last Molly is still living to this day. So this past Sunday we figured it would be time to check the water and add new fish since Molly has been alive and given birth in the tank. Any who.. This past Sunday we added an anemone, Chocolate Chip Starfish (Patrick) and a Coral Angel beauty. All were doing well so we decided to go last night to get a few more fish.. Came home with 2 clowns, butterfly and some live rock. Before adding these we had them test the water. Everything was on point. So we added them and then this morning I noticed that the Angel beauty had "salt spec" (what looks like ICH) all over her. Since this is our first and only tank we do not have a quarantine tank.. I went to an aquarium store and they gave me Ich-X to add to the tank. Would it be ok if I took Patrick and the anemone out and treated the fish in the tank? The only fish to show signs of Ich is the angel beauty. Advice would be appreciated.
Again we do not have another tank so we would have to use a make shift tank to take them out to treat.
Help!
thanks!
